“You have to have lived to make sounds like these; seen the bottom of the glass, felt the pain. This is real life, farewells, broken hearts, fools in love, and the women who love them and sometimes cheat them. This is about home-wrecking and getting yours wrecked. These are the blues. There’s a guy here who can’t find a job, can’t find a friend, standing in an unemployment line. These are the blues. This is music for hug ’em tight and get down dirty dancing. These are the blues. There’s a guy here who has been out drunk and cheating and he is calling his lady at home. These are the blues. You believe it when the Bluzblasters tell it. They are the voice of experience. They’ve been there. Twice. Thanks, guys. We needed the truth. These are the blues.” –Joe Wilson
